    I'm assuming as color man on Rockets broadcasts.

    I would replace him with someone not on your list....

    Mike Newlin

    He did a couple of games two years ago, and did a great job.

    I chose Hakeem.



    "De Rockets neeed to FOC-ASS!"


    But I was just being stupid. If I had my choice, it'd be Rudy T.

    hey I chose Dream also. At least Dream doesnt make generic comments.
    He's always philosophical.

    I remember watching this NBA Legends thing on NBA TV about Ralph Sampson and Hakeem did a great job talking about Ralph.
    Talked about his skills, moves, etc. Had lots of personality too.

    There's nothing wrong with what Dream would say, I just think it might be tiring to have to always work past his accent.


    I'd much rather have Rudy T.

    The people who didn't vote for Rudy T, ya'll are crazy.

    Rudy T is easily the best person for the job.

    My God, Clyde is awful. His idea of adding insight is either just repeating what Bill just said or stating the player's height and that he's a "hard worker."

    I also wasn't aware that Boki had bounced around in the league after his stint with the Rockets. :rolleyes:

    Mike Newlin is a knowledgable commentator. Put him in coach.

    Im suprised Sleepy never got into broadcasting. He was very articulate and his interviews always seemed to contain quite a bit of thought.

    My vote is obviously for Rudy T, But unfortuantly he is out of the question, he is scouting for the lakers, I dont think they could get over Hakeem's accent, I like Bullard personally but no go there. I think Clyde has progresivly gotten better( over the whole 2 game span), well preseason too, he is starting to get over that whole stating the obvious thing, which i think is something all broadcasters go through, look on the bright side, at least its not Cynthia Cooper.

    I voted Rudy. Even though it aint happening, I bet he'd do well. I cant remember the games Newlin called, but coaches generally make great color guys. Hubie, Jack Ramsey, Fratello, Doug Collins is ok.
